Reports: Sergei Bobrovsky ‘being shopped hard’ by the Florida Panthers, John Gibson could be on trade block

If the Florida Panthers had it their way, Sergei Bobrovsky WOULD BE OFF THE CASE. (Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.)

Sportsnet 590 The FAN’s Nick Kypreos is reporting that the Panthers are looking to deal Bobrovsky, a two-time Vezina Trophy winner, over the offseason. Kypreos added that Florida is willing to take on “plenty” of Bob’s remaining salary to make it happen.

The Russian netminder has four seasons and $40 million left on a seven-year, $70 million blockbuster deal he originally signed in 2019.

Bruce Boudreau began the 2011-12 season with his team as a favorite to win the Stanley Cup. In his last two seasons, he followed up a Presidents’ Trophy with an Eastern Conference regular-season title. Now, he had seven straight wins to start the year. A little over a month later, Boudreau, the fastest coach in NHL history to 200 wins, was gone. The man who resurrected hockey in Washington was replaced by two coaches who slowly bled the greatness out of the Capitals.

Just under four years later, Boudreau has found himself in a similar spot. Now the coach of the Anaheim Ducks, he had led his team to within one game of the Stanley Cup Finals the year before. But the start of the 2015-16 season was a catastrophe. His team scored 10 goals in the entire month of October. They finished the month with a single victory. Boudreau didn’t have any answers.

“I don’t know,” he said after his team threw away another game on October 27. “I’m sort of at a loss right now.”
